lyrics

Sweet mother, cruel daughter
O stern and absent father
Blind priestess, con artist,
Godmother of Injustice
Do you love them? All your children?
Would you do anything for them?

God of Hunger, hateful prankster
Selfish but endearing gangster
Narcissistic and a braggart
Wealthy patrons bind and gag her
Blissful ditz and, dark avenger
Drugs are her sweet surrender
She’s addicted to entertainment
So much there she can’t contain it

Why do you only hate the things that I do?
Go take a good look at yourself

Awful timing, careful liar
Laughing as the flames grow higher
Double-D cup, and a crow’s beak,
To be sure, she has a mean streak
She is blind to, and unkind to
Those we never turn our mind to
We consume her, cry in chorus,
And in turn, she does consume us

O save this wanton child
Before she harms herself
The souls of all these angels
Held o’er the flames of Hell
O save this savage matron
Before she slays her young
O quench these bitter fires
Or have they just begun?

Fucking Nazis, rapist actors,
Bodies hanging in the rafters
Cops who murder, bloody slaughter
Cast aside Black sons and daughters
Is God laughing? There to pray to?
Oh, I wouldn’t even try to
Hate the leader, fucking tyrant
Child who outgrew his bonnet


O Paramour of Treachery,
And Titan of Disdain
O mistress of a shackled folk
Enjoy your bloodstained fame!
America, America, God’s pity falls on thee
The ignorant and spiteful rule
From sea to shining sea
